Biggest Rock / Pop Stars With the Worst Voices

bosstrabs

For anybody unfamiliar with Ratt…

BlainSA

bosstrabs lol. Reminds me of this…

jonattonyeah

ScottBailey Yup, and it pains me to say it as a diehard Crue fan. Not sure if he invented it, but he certainly perfected mumble rock. How the Crue ever got anything on record is beyond me.

Awful, awful band that put out some proper disc 2′ers. Did what they did. Kick start my heart.

The Dirt is an excellent book. The Netflix series is terrible, but the book is a very good read.

ScottBailey

Meh, I’ve always loved 80s metal and don’t mind taking pelters for it. Would love to have been in LA during that time.

bosstrabs

Yeah, but fucking hell… Ratt?

alistair

Thank fuck Nirvana came round when they did.

Indeed. Distinctly remember the schism too, between the younger rock fans my age (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam) rebelling against their dads/older siblings/cousins with their ‘cock rock’.

Fuck off.

Aerosmith
Def Leppard
Whitesnake

What a time to be alive

alistair

bosstrabs Breath of fresh air. Remember them playing Smells like Teen Spirit on the Word. Shot in the arm it was

ScottBailey

bosstrabs Smashing Pumpkins

Talking of awful bands…

Some great music came out of the grunge scene. Love Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam etc. Definitely don’t begrudge it taking over.

Along_the_Wire

bosstrabs there was friction with the indie old-guard as well - I thought grunge was a load of old shit and I really, really tried with it an all.

Billy Bragg has an awful voice, but I love it.

Adele is just some fat X-Factor winner. In the bin. Crying on video about cancelling some shows in Vegas. I’ll give you something to cry about, you shitcunt.

bosstrabs

It’s alright Scott. I like some total shit and get hammered on here for it.

Objectively speaking, though, Smashing Pumpkins were a great band. Gish and Siamese Dream frequently appear in critics Top 100 Rock Albums and Best Albums of the 90s lists.

ScottBailey

bosstrabs didn’t like the music and hated Billy’s voice. I wanted to like them and even went to a gig with my mate who was a fan, in the hopes that would change my mind. It didn’t.

Homegrove

I’m obviously a big metal fan but could never get into Megadeth because of Mustaine’s voice. Probably means I missed a lot of great riffs.

ScottBailey

Homegrove Same

BlainSA

Homegrove Agreed. Also, his solos were just technical ability over musicality for me. Some good riffs though.

End product of too many years having smoke blown up your arse

LT42

Ronan Keating (not natural, manufactured with lessons)
Liam Gallagher (awful tones, wild cat)
Rhianna (studio polished, sounds exactly the same as 100 other female pop stars, fuck off)

benson

Adele has a terrible non-singing voice. She is also smoking hot now. I mean typical LA smoking hot but I love that.

Dylan. Never ever got it. Sorry.

Mad_Cyril

bosstrabs They’re not Hursty’s “sources” are they?

Millsy

The worst singing voice ever captured by a microphone belongs to Cerys Matthews from Catatonia. Rancid to the core.

BlainSA

Millsy This thread should be a case for Mulder and Sculleeee (boyo)
